New Perun dropped.

new Sea Monster just dropped! :)

IMO China will use these to protect shipping as USN and USA in general wanes.

Hate China? Don't care, flying boats are peak comfy.

Too bad USN or even USCG ain't into anything except stupid vapor ware like that monster cargo WIG. Although the WIG but still CAN fly does seem to be the way to go, and that would be what this new Chinese sea-monster would seem to be.

Military-wise, what was its purpose?

How would it protect itself from long range missiles?

Is having 1 full size and 1 micro handgun the way to go

How does it compare to be a soldier on deployment from the USA or another country, as opposed to being an infantry soldier in Ukraine right now - IE; Being a Russian soldier?

It seems the Americans had an easy time in Afghanistan / Iraq in comparison, fancy bases, intelligence, air support constantly, nice equipment. As opposed to a Russian soldier sitting in a foxhole for days, weeks, months with limited gear. Often engaging in close quarters combat same with the ukraine soldiers who have a tough time as well.

How would the US army handle such a situation? I am genuinely curious on replies from veterans. It looks far scarier from an outside viewer when looking at the war in ukraine.

does this ammo even qualify as a "fixed cartridge" legally?
it has no case or primer, it's just a hollow bullet full of powder.
if not, this would technically be a muzzle loader and unregulated.
which i suppose it is since the bullet is fed from the front of the chamber, it is de-facto not breech loaded.

i'll start

Anyone own one? I want a classic shotgun and this seems like the only new-production one from a major company. Cz also isn't the worst brand ever, considering getting one.

Does anyone else see the IJA of WW2 as the cool bad guys?
Everybody likes the wehrmacht, but I think the real cool bad guys is the Imperial Japan.

I want to fit it with rosewood furniture which apparently doesn't exist. So now I need to get into woodworking. Any advice?

Riyadh signed a declaration of intent to participate in March 2023. In November 2024, Italy’s foreign minister acknowledged the possibility of Saudi involvement.

Just watched through my spyglass as this group of poor sons of bitches crossed the Great Clog into the maintenance hatch that brings you directly to the negative levels. their excursion is doomed to fail, look at these rookies they're not even wearing NBC gear!

Might go down there tomorrow after some prep to recover their loot and consecrate their bodies so their souls don't stay stuck down there to get eaten as well.

Heres a trip down memory lane. Does anyone know what happened to the website?

How would a dreadnought be implemented in the US military doctrine?

>P90 frt on it's way edition
Yep you read that right we have developed a 3 position trigger for the PS90 platform. We are 97% completed with it just making a few fine tuning adjustments and a little bit more R&D with it before we will feel comfortable releasing it out in the world. We planned on having their release on the same day as a surprise but after thinking it through we think it would be wise to hold off on the release just until we get our bearings straight with the Vector launch. Not too much at one time. After all we are only 2 people doing it all by ourselves other than the manufacturing. \

You've heard of FRTs, but what's a "super safety"?
>like an FRT, but a different mechanism (the safety)
>cheaper than an FRT
>$90-$120 for full drop-in kit
>3D printable or CNC (recommend stainless/4140)
>most are 3 position cross-bolt safety
>left is safe, right is semi, middle is fully semi-automic

How it works:
https://youtu.be/KIxsnh2fFTo

To make an AR-15 super safe you'll need:
>M16 style/"full auto" bolt carrier group
>H3 or H2 buffer weight (will do 600-750 rpm of 5.56)
>"low shelf" lower receiver
>SS
>any AR trigger so long as you give it an SS cut

The Sharpest General on /k/ - Spooktober Edition

This thread is about the appreciation of knives and their design, their history, and the engineering and materials that are required to make a functioning blade.

"I want a knife recommendation."
Answer the following:
>Fixed or folding (or both (or neither))?
>Intended use/misuse?
>Blade length/girth?
>Local laws to ignore?
>You can afford this knife! Think of how much money you spend on food and water. Do you really need it? What about home heating? You can just turn it off and spend all that money on a knife! Do you really NEED to not freeze to death? Stop being a big baby, you can afford this knife!

The STALKER games come to mind, but what are some other noteworthy video games with that /k/ touch to them?

and it's literally the same

What rifle pleases your eyes the most? Functionality aside

What they could have done:

Rechamber to 7.62×51mm
Make the mg42 ligther by using aluminium where it is possible.
Also reduce the fire-rate for ground troops.
Also make a shorter barrel.

Wouldn't this be far better than the m60?

Cracking good idea this.

We had a thread on this a couple weeks ago about the portside bow JBD being in the way of the waist landing strip making simultaneous launch and recovery impossible, but now they've bought up some new shit the carrier is afflicted with:
>Initially designed with a steam catapult
>Later changed to an electromagnetic catapult, and since the length was insufficient, it was extended rearward leading to earlier thread topic
>Aircraft carrier Fujian-san, the issue of the catapult position on the starboard side of the bow being quite bad as well. With this, simultaneous use with the forward elevator might be tough, right?
Picrel has deck diagrams in descending order:
>Fujian
>Forrestal-Class
>John F. Kennedy-Class (conventionally powered Kitty Hawk-class for a fair Fujian analog)
Reason why the Forrestal-Class was bought up was because it had this bullshit portside bow elevator half exposed to the JBD in addition to being in the middle of the waist landing strip, a substantial secondary factor making it unusable not only during landings but also during bow launches, which was removed in all proceeding carrier designs. The Fujian has this same elevator JBD problem, but with only 2 elevators instead of 3 on the Forrestal-Class. So elevator usage is reduced to 1 (one) while bow launches are happening.
>The fact that the ship was completed while defects that should have been able to be detected and dealt with early on were left unaddressed suggests that the Chinese ship design department does not have a system in place to check for and correct such defects, which means that while the defect with the catapult was found because it is a visible part, it is highly likely that there are many defects in parts that cannot be seen.

What do you guys think of the Duck Hunter/Frogskin Camo A300 UP?

Is this a P365X or XL? It only has an X on the slide and the gun store had it labeled as just an X, but the slide doesn't look like the p365x's I see in pictures or videos. It looks like an XL

Do you think a major war is on the horizon?

How do we defeat the Nippon bear menace? 100 attacks and 12 deaths in six months in Northern Japan.

Was looking through photos from the '90s through 2001, and saw at least eight MP5s, three FALs, and two Sterlings.
Gonna dump them all. Would appreciate input from anyone who's good at identifying models. Time and place detailed in filenames.

Israel claims to have killed 60000 hamas members. How can a group that was essentially dismantled recruit so many people in such a short amount of time? My guess is this is just Israeli fear mongering to get more gibs
